I just finished a new song called The Ecstasy of Mallard.  Please, would you take a moment to go and listen to it and tell me what you think?

Here is the story behind this song: Yesterday I was telling Kevin, aka Mr. Spider, that at my shows I was plannin to choose an audience member and ask them to suggest a song for me to sample. I would then choose another audience member to suggest a topic I would write about, and for the next show I would have a song written about the topic using samples from the suggested song.

So Kevin challenged me to do a proof of concept.  And this is the result.

Here are the lyrics:

When I think about Bergmann I think about you
cause your polar forms are small and their beaks are small too
A lot of you are gay and if you’re gay I guess it’s true
that your heads are on straight and they’re green and not blue
Your offspring are precoccial and I kinda like that
They can swim and feed themselves and I think that’s pretty phat
What I don’t understand is why you copulate with corpses
I no longer wanna touch you
If I have to I’ll use forceps

Mallard babies
They’ll follow you wherever you go
They’ll follow you if they don’t know you
Mallard babies
They’ll follow you with crackers in your hand
They’ll even try to eat a frog if they can

You’re so recently evolved
that you still hybridize
with ducks from a different genus
If your problems get solved
while I’m still alive
no one will believe us

Mallard babies
They’ll follow you wherever you go
They’ll follow you if they don’t know you
Mallard babies
They’ll follow you with crackers in your hand
They’ll even try to eat a frog if they can

Stumble it!
